Maybin, Former PSU Teammates, Go The "Rocky IV" Training Route

[Nitt Picks on the way in a half hour. Enjoy.]

Well, it's not quite like Rocky Balboa running up a Siberian mountainside with the KGB on his tail, but Aaron Maybin, Maurice Evans, Dan Lawlor, Tyrell Sales, and Josh Gaines have decided that when it comes to getting ready for the NFL Draft, boring is better.

(Bob Flounders also has a much longer version of this story on pennlive.com, but it's being eaten by their mid-page advertising, at least on my computer.)

That's gold, Jerry!

I’m having the same problem with the mid-page ad, but I cheated around it and uncovered this little gem:

There ain’t nothing else to do here. Unless you like hanging out in a Turkey Hill parking lot in 20-degree chill. Or maybe tipping cows.

I think the important stuff all made it into the distilled version…

There is a tractor in the parking lot, West Virginia license EIEIO. Your lights are on.

We just needed a couple players, a couple people to buy in to the fact and we were able to do it. --A.Q. Shipley

The weird thing about that glitch...

…is that the articles seem to work the first time I view them, but if I click ahead to the next page and then go back, the bottom half of the page is eaten.

Oh, well. Glad it’s not a problem on my end, at least.

My cheat:

If you can get the entire first page, instead of just clicking on the ‘2’, ‘3’, and ‘4’ links, right click on them and select ‘Open in new window’… when the page opens you’ll probably only get the top half… in the Menu bar, select File => Save As and save the page on your computer… then go to wherever you saved it, right click and select Edit… it won’t look pretty in Word, but at least you can scroll down to the text and read the whole thing, FWIW.

or, you know

you can just not do any of that, and let the site fix their bugs, or lose advertising (though perhaps the companies like the attention of their ads taking up article space?)

Sure, make me feel guilty...

I always feel a little twinge of regret when I reduce myself to actually going to cbssportsline or bleacherreport or some other purveyor of interweb trash. I know that their ad revenue is totally dependent upon traffic, and if nobody read it, it would just shrivel up and die. …and yet, much like the real train wreck, I just can’t look away.

I went to Millersville

and lived next to that Turkey Hill…they are correct…there is nothing to do there.

Although if Evans wants to go look to get in trouble College Night at the Village (the local hot spot with $1 beers) is Wednesday Night! He should watch out though…it is located right next to the police station.

Yay Lancaster

Penn State athletes! In my home town? Wooo weeee we hit the big time now. Those Amish won’t know what hit ’em.

With all due respect to Graham Zug's home county

Dutch Wonderland may be closed, but perhaps Ian Ziering (aka Steve Sanders) can get the guys a tour of the local Amish electric fireplace plant.

As the great Homer Simpson once said:

Who knows more about electricity than the Amish?

The amish have come a long way, baby?

Photoshop?

That photo almost looks like it could have been photo-shopped.

DUTCH WONDERLAND IS CLOSED?

I didn’t even get to have kids and drag their bored asses around that place.

Evans' conditioning and Maybin's weight...

Maybe Maurice can run from Lancaster down to Blue Ball, carrying Mayhem on his back so he can gorge himself at the Shady Maple Smorgasbord.

It’s win-win!

Shady Maple

is the best! So much good food. Maybin would have no trouble packing on the pounds there.

They’ll be running out of food.

The future Mrs. RUTS

Is completely creeped out by the Shady Maple billboard on the westbound turnpike. It was a weird little blonde girl with a side ponytail. Looked like she was from a Stephen King movie.

(It’s a different billboard “model” now, I think it changed about three months ago.)
